A possible explanation for benefits of anti inflammatories and antibiotics

General Discussion

I’ve always been puzzled by the experiences of people that temporarily recover through anti inflammatories or antibiotics. Here is a possible explanation:

Some of us can’t correctly digest proteins, meaning that they lack one or more amino acids, which causes all our problems.

When T or DHT bind to a receptor, the cell needs some specific amino acid to build the proteins necessary to feel the effect of this binding. Having the right hormones is completely useless if the cell doesn’t have these amino acids available. Anti inflammatories and antibiotics, like many other meds, increase the stomach acid production, which favors the digestion of the proteins. Therefore, the amino acids become suddenly available and everything works fine – as long as the hormones are ok. In other words, those who benefit from these meds are actually benefiting from their side effects. If this is true, taking Bromelain extract (a mixture of protein-digesting enzymes) should have the same effect as taking these meds. Now, I would do this test it myself, but I am one of those who does not benefit from these meds.

If your body wouldn’t have enough amino acids for protein synthesis you would be dead.

Posting wild guesses without doing a minimum of research is just cluttering up this board. If you google the terms “antibiotics gene expression” you will find that various antibiotics have a significant and broad effect on gene expression (in both directions). A complex set of approximately 300 proteins regulate AR gene expression. Knowing this, it is plausible that the effects some of us get from antibiotics has to do with their influence on the expression (synthesis) of proteins. If the right set of AR regulatory proteins get up or downregulated, you will get a positive response in the form of a short term improvement or “recovery”.
